Sutivan goes back to the 15th century and, apart from sacral monuments, has several interesting Renaissance houses and Baroque summer residences. The foundations of an early Christian church, built in the 6th century, within which the Renaissance parish church church of St. John was erected in 1579, have been preserved. The name Sutivan derives from St. Ivan. The church was later reconstructed in Baroque style with the belfry beside it. The church keeps an altarpiece featuring Our Lady of the Rosary, a 17th-century work of a central Italian school. The citadel of the Marjanovic Family (1777) rises on the coast, with a sun dial on its front. The Natali-Bozicevic House originates from the Renaissance period. The summer mansion with a park by the poet Jeronim Kavanjin dates from the Baroque period as well as the Ilic Park. The Definis house accommodates a collection of furniture and works of art from the beginning of the 19th century | | | | |
